Suspended sentence. (Law school bar/oral question).

Suspended sentence  as per  section  25(g)  of  the Penal  Code  is that  mode of punishment that resembles that of conditional discharge.  It  arises  in  a case where  an  accused  person is convicted of an offence other than that specified in  Schedule  VI in  the Minimum Sentences Act,  1972  and no previous conviction is proved  against  such convicted person.  If  these  two circumstances exist, the Court may pass a sentence  of imprisonment  but  order that  the whole or  any part of  it  suspended for  a period  not exceeding  3  years  on such  conditions, such as  costs  or compensation be  paid by the offender  or  otherwise as  the court may specify in such order.
